Package: bash Version: 5.2-2+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Since Bash 5.2, when both -e and -t options are used, read terminates the shell session. This can be tested as follow in a terminal: > /usr/bin/bash > echo $SHLVL 2 > read -e -t 1 > echo $SHLVL 1 or by executing this small script where any subsequent use of read -e is rendered ineffective: #!/usr/bin/env bash read -et .001 read -e -p "type something: " echo -e "\nyou typed $REPLY" Note that 'read -e -t 0' does not exit, so it really has something to do with timings.
